Receiving Email Attachments

Certain file types are blocked

In an effort to protect the William and Mary community from
email borne viruses, Information Technology is removing self-executing
attachments from emails sent to or from William and Mary email
addresses. Attachments created in Microsoft Office will not be affected
by these new restrictions.

If you need to send a file of a prohibited file type as an
attachment, we suggest you add .wmit to the end of the file name (e.g.,
dataset.wmit). Then have the recipient remove .wmit from the end of the
file name. If you have any questions or need help with sending an
attachment, please contact the Technology Support Center at 757-221-4357 (HELP) or [[support]].
